For me I felt that you needed all of the pool in the frame, so its inclusion is a big improvement. The spray is OK dependent upon how you wanted to portray it, Milky water is not for everybody.

EXIF Again. I do not know why you have used f3.1 here with an exposure conmpensation of -1/3. If this is your compact which only operates on full aperture, then at least zero the compensation and then take a few test shots until you are happy. This looks like a job for a tripod with your ISO raised up to around 800.
